500 Side Panel - Rubber Standoff/Bumpers 3D Print Files

[OlyMoto]

A minor goody, but perhaps others will find it useful.

One of my 500 side panels cracked, and I think it was probably due to the little rubber bumper standoffs it's supposed to rest on. Both were missing and the panel was flopping around on the metal pins the bumpers are supposed to sit on.

I'm totally ignorant when it comes to 3D printing, but a good buddy whipped these up for me. Using TPU filament, the end result is pretty dang impressive and works great. Feels very close to rubber. My guess is these will work on other Morinis, others will know that better than me.

Thanks for sharing and glad you have found a solution that works for you. 3D printing definitely changes how we can continue to keep our bikes on the road.

The club actually manufactures high quality sidepanel pins already, moulded in rubber not printed. They are available on the clubs products page:

I wasn't aware of those, Tom - thanks for pointing them out.

No doubt real rubber would be higher quality, and had I known I'd probably have just ordered up. However, these definitely do the trick for those with the resources to print them out.

Now...to find a folding footpeg option. Somebody point me towards those before I get my design guy going again.

FYI I produced lots of bits for my 250 2c in TPU. All the files are here:
